Great bands do great #Peel sessions. Here’s the first #Wire session recorded on 18th January 1978: ‘Practice Makes Perfect’ ‘I Am the Fly’ ‘Culture Vulture’ ‘106 Beats That’ The first two in particular sound fantastic.

#Wire heads: what’s your personal preference on ‘Outdoor Miner’? Album version or single version (with Thorne’s piano solo)? Just read that the band did the longer version under duress from EMI.

I’ve decided to go with ‘Weaponised Dysphoria’ by #Uboa. It gets stuck in straight away and should give the audience a jolt.

This fantastic stuff from @willettsio.bsky.social. Really interesting blend of Carpenter-esque synths, hazy 90s industrial metal, and some tasty riffs/vocals. Look forward to more.

So, I finally have my long list of favourite tracks from the first incarnation of #Wire. Now begins the task of whittling 24 bangers down to a lean 15. 😮‍💨
